in't yuh got anything to do but set here
and er--look at the moon? Break away and come up to camp. I'll rout out
the cook and make him boil us some coffee."
Thurston turned joyfully toward him. "Park, old fellow, I was afraid."
"Yuh better reform and quit being afraid," Park bantered. "I got out uh
the mix-up fine, but I guess my horse went on down--poor devil. I was
poking around below there looking for him."
"Well, Mona, I see yuh was able to 'cope with the situation,' all
right--but yuh needed Bud mighty bad, I reckon. The chances is yuh won't
have no house in the morning, so Bud'll have to get busy and rustle one
for yuh. I guess you'll own up, now, that the water can get through the
gate." He laughed in his teasing way.
Mona stood up, and her shining eyes were turned to Thurston. "I don't
care," she asserted with reddened cheeks. "I'm just glad it did get
through."
"Same here," said Thurston with much emphasis.
Then, with Mona once more in the saddle, and with Thurston leading
Sunfish by the bridle-rein, they trailed damply and happily up the long
ridge to where the white tents of the roundup gleamed sharply against
the sky-line.
